Title: scary riding
Post by: kawasaki.addict on November 02, 2014, 11:09:27 AM
So while riding home in a rain storm last night i apparently lost my entire tail light. The entire housing with the license plate light was gone when i got home from work no clue how long it was gone or where it fell off or wtf!!?! But it terrifying tp think of riding in a low visibility rain storm with my lights missing. Have any of you guys ever lost parts while put on a ride?

Many years ago I lost the right mirror (together with its bracket) of ma-deuce, while I was ridin' on a highway...
Fortunately, nobody was drivin' behind me, so the mirror didn't hurt nothing (I hope... :o).
But I couldn't be able to get it back, unless of stoppin' the bike and walk back lookin' around for almost a mile (while cars & trucks were speedin' on the road)...
So, since that day my bike has got only the left mirror on (and I like it...), even though that's illegal and, yes I know, most of all dangerous...

   ;) Hey Kawasaki.addict, they have this product on the market, and .........well it might not be sold in your state because it might cause cancer in your state, but we can buy up north here called  locktite comes in red or blue and works wonders and parts do not fall off your bike, and most H-D riders have a couple of buckets of the stuff around.......

My friend  bored his to 290cc an ran staight pipes no baffles proven top speed 127mph but the speedo was burried around 140mph lol crazy loud crazy slow an crazy ugly bike. I miss  it for some unknown reason
